Primary 1 had a wonderful morning at Drumpellier Park yesterday. They found out lots about our local plants, trees and animals and particularly enjoyed seeing the ducks and swans (including some cygnets). As always, the children were beautifully behaved and did St Bart’s proud! Keep an eye on Primary 1’s Class Page to find out more about their trip to the park.

After months of dedication and hard work, the big day has finally arrived for twelve of our Primary 6 pupils. This group of boys and girls, under the instruction of a professional coach, have developed into very talented dancers and will perform their routine at Motherwell Concert Hall this evening. The final dance rehearsal, together with several other schools, went extremely well yesterday and the performance is sure to be a wonderful addition to tonight’s annual Summer Arts Festival. Many thanks to Mr Hughes for all he has done to support the boys and girls in preparing for the show, to Mrs Dolan for the wonderful costumes and to Mrs Smillie for lots of practical help and organisation behind the scenes. What a team!

Welcome back, everyone! I hope you had a great long weekend.

Primary 6 are now only a day away from taking to the stage of Motherwell Concert Hall with their dance routine for this year’s Summer Arts Festival. There is a final rehearsal in St Bartholomew’s today and we welcome the other schools who are taking part in the dance, including our good friends from Buchanan High School.

Our Summer Fayre takes place a week on Saturday (7th June), with all money raised going to new SMART Boards. Sports Day is scheduled for Monday 10th June. Please pray for good weather for both events!
